All the time.... Sparks are cool.

It has an air ride. If I don't want to spark, I just raise it up a bit.

Green Acres is THE place to be!

My longest day yet was 750 miles. Very comfy riding the spring seat. Especially with the Big Beach Bars (BBB).

Thanks for the kind words.

Ride Safe!

The stock H-D passenger pillion attaches using the three stock mounting points. The two seat bolts secure it up front, and the fender screw secures it in the rear. These same mounting points secure the rear fender rack.
